The curator (Rotor) should be highly embarrassed. Very disappointing assemblage of stuff; like a brain-dump gone bad. There is little descriptive text and non-architects will be simply confused. It exemplifies the us-and-them attitude not something I would have expected. OMA are influential but the connection between research and realised building is too great and the exhibition is confusing. I was bored and certainly not inspired... I am not the only one.
